Body
Dear Sir:
On January 6, 2011, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to award Contract 10-624-11 Repairs to the Lockport Powerhouse Interior North Wall, to Path Construction Company, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $528,200.00. The contract expires on May 31, 2012.
The contract has no prior change orders.
An increase in contract value is being requested to perform extra work due to a slight error in estimating the size of the wall.
This change order is in compliance with the Illinois Criminal Code since the change is due to circumstances not reasonably foreseeable at the time the contract was signed, and is in the best interest of the District.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to execute a change order to increase Contract 10-624-11 in an amount of $15,000.00 (2.8% of the current contract value) from an amount of $528,200.00 to an amount not to exceed $543,200.00.
Funds are available in Account 401-50000-645720.
Requested, Manju Prakash Sharma, Director of Maintenance and Operations, SS:SO'C:MAG:LSC:JK
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
